I am still in a playing phase with INDI (but aren't we all?). So I just use INDI to point to an object and have a look. Either visually or if I am lazy by taking an image sitting inside behind my desk. Well, a single image leaves much to be deserved, especially long exposures due to noise.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a live viewer that acts like the cameras used in video astronomy? Taking multiple exposures and stacking them thereby eliminating a lot of the noise. A lot of configurable post processing could be foreseen: Exposure time and amount of frames to be stacked, stretching the dynamic range of the resulting picture by selecting min and max, using different mappings (log, sqrt, ...).
Are there any plans in this direction?
I am currently experimenting with implementing a pure Python INDI camera client. Maybe it can act as a demonstrator for a live viewer.
Cheers
